Cineworld Group plc is an international cinema operator that owns and manages multiplexes and other movie-theater venues. Its operations include the Cineworld and Picturehouse brands in the United Kingdom, Regal Entertainment in the United States, and Cinema City in parts of Central and Eastern Europe. The company generates revenue primarily from theatrical film exhibitions, while also offering concessions, advertising, premium viewing experiences and other cinema-related services.
Cineworld serves audiences across the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and several European markets, including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. Through its various brands, the group operates conventional cinemas as well as premium-format auditoriums and independent or art-house venues.
Founded in 1995, Cineworld expanded through acquisitions, including the purchase of Regal Entertainment in 2018, which established a significant presence in the U.S. market. The group sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 2022 and completed its restructuring in 2023. Eduardo Acuna became Cineworld’s chief executive officer in 2023, succeeding long-serving leader Mooky Greidinger.
